I have it running on a Fluval Roma 240 tank. Which originally came with the Fluval 306. A good filter in its own right, but this is the next level. It’s really easy to maintain and due to its size and filtration ability I only clean mine out once very 5-6 months, where as with the 306, this I had to clean almost weekly. The intake and output can both be independently adjusted, so you can reduce the flow if it’s really stirring up your tank. It came with filter media and having had this running for well over 5 years now, I still have the original media in place and have no need to replace it any time soon. Mine came with a free gravel vac, although this was more of a novelty than a bonus. I just use a normal gravel vac as part of my water changes so the one included isn’t of any use as the water stays within the system. After years of constantly being on, it has been faultless but quiet it is not. There is a continuous humming noise coming from it and if the tank was in a bedroom you would not want the filter running. Keep this in mind before you buy as it is not silent. Our tank is in the living room and the filter sits in a cabinet, but it’s still quite loud, butit doesn’t bother us, however if it we’re silent running it would be an amazing and faultless filter. It includes a small tap that allows you to drain out water direct from the filter, this makes water changes incredibly easy. However, if you’re filling the tank back up you need to ensure it’s dechlorinated water so as not to harm the fish or filter bacteria. Other than the noise, I really can’t complain about the filter at all and would highly recommend it. If you cover your filter Inlet with pond filter sponge, you can protect fish and shrimp from being sucked in and prolong the gap between cleaning the filter out. Which is what I do and it works wonders. ## Features - Warning:Not suitable for children under 10 months. - Suitable for aquariums up to 1000L - Multi-stage filter pumps out 2650L of water per hour - "Smart Pump" advanced microchip technology monitors & optimises pump performance - All filter media included (mechanical, chemical & biological) - Suitable for freshwater and marine aquariums ## Technical Specifications | Specification | Value | |---------------|-------| | ASIN | B00N45GLZQ | | Best Sellers Rank | 16,952 in Pet Supplies ( See Top 100 in Pet Supplies ) 82 in Aquarium Filters | | Brand | Fluval | | Colour | Black | | Customer Reviews | 4.6 out of 5 stars 2,389 Reviews | | Flow Rate | 2650 Litres Per Hour | | Global Trade Identification Number | 00015561102148 | | Item Dimensions L x W x H | 39.6L x 39.6W x 39.6H centimetres | | Item Weight | 6.43 Kilograms | | Manufacturer | Hagen | | Manufacturer Warranty Description | 3 year limited warranty: the fluval fx4/fx6 high performance canister filter is guaranteed against defects in material and workmanship under normal aquarium usage and service for 3 years from date of purchase. | | Material | Plastic | | Model Number | A214 | | Power source | Corded Electric | | Product Style | Canister | | Product dimensions | 39.6L x 39.6W x 39.6H centimetres | | Style | Canister | | UPC | 015561102148 | | Unit Count | 1 Stück | ## Product Details - **Brand:** Fluval - **Colour:** Black - **Global Trade Identification Number:** 00015561102148 - **Item weight:** 6.43 Kilograms - **Manufacturer:** Hagen - **Material:** Plastic - **Maximum flow rate:** 2650 Litres Per Hour - **Power source:** Corded Electric - **Product dimensions:** 39.6L x 39.6W x 39.6H centimetres - **Style:** Canister ## Images ![Fluval FX4 External Filter - Image 1](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/71kUpnbpTOL.jpg) ## Available Options This product comes in different **Size** options. ## Questions & Answers **Q: Would it be to much for a 105l planted aquarium** A: I have an FX6 on my Fluval Roma 240 and I use a 306 on my 125litre tank. You can't really have too much filtration. So if the FX4 fits why not. You can adjust the flow down if you need to anyway. **Q: Will the inlet & outlet pipes fit in my jewel rio 240 rear grooves without me having to cut the grooves to make them fit. Hopefully you know what i me** A: I want to know the answer to this question too, as I’m tossing up between 2x 307’s or an FX4 **Q: The strainer looks big, how to stop fry from bekng sucked in?** A: i use a bit of very fine net over the strainer **Q: is this ok for small fish such as tetras ,i also have angels is it quiet and how thick r the hoses** A: You can adjust both intake and out flow rates. So if you’re fish are getting battered you can turn it down. I have Neon tetra among the inhabitants of the tank I have this running on, they’re fine. They don’t shy from it. I think with angels being so flat sided they might struggle though, unless you reduce the flow. ## Customer Reviews ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Good value and price. *by M***. on 9 January 2026* Good product, good price and fast delivery. ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Excellent *by D***Y on 21 December 2017* This filter is superb.

The main reason I purchased this was because it helps with water changes. My daughter is 12 and I didn't want her interest in fish keeping to become a chore. It hasn't. With the turn of two valves the filter will empty water out of the tank. And with the addition of a length of hose and a nearby downstairs toilet and the smart use of some Hozelock dual control valves the entire process of emptying and filling is now done without buckets. There is in my opinion some serious downside with this filter. It doesn't come with anywhere near enough medium. However, if you're prepared to invest in a seriously great media product I'd recommend Biohome Ultimate. I've added a canister filter to the in-line side of the filter. This is simply a mechanical filter. I've removed the mechanical filters from the bottom of the FX4 and used the entire bottom of the filter to house 3kg of Biohome. And I now have nitrates that appear at between 1 & 3ppm. Apart from that sadly missed opportunity by Fluval this is an excellent filter. It's robust and sturdy. It's quiet. If you want to understand how to "pimp" this filter I'd suggest you go to You Tube and search for "pimp my filter" by Pond Guru. I've no affiliation with Fluval, Biohome or Pond Guru. I don't leave many reviews on Amazon. I genuinely hope this is one that offers some help for others. ## Frequently Bought Together - Fluval FX4 High Performance Canister Aquarium Filter - Multi-Stage Filtration, Built-In Powered Water Change System, and Basket-In-Basket Tray Design - Fluval FX Spray Bar Kit, Aquarium Filter Water Aeration Accessory - Fluval E 300 Watt Electronic Heater --- ## Why Shop on Desertcart? - 🛒 **Trusted by 1.3+ Million Shoppers** — Serving international shoppers since 2016 - 🌍 **Shop Globally** — Access 737+ million products across 21 categories - 💰 **No Hidden Fees** — All customs, duties, and taxes included in the price - 🔄 **15-Day Free Returns** — Hassle-free returns (30 days for PRO members) - 🔒 **Secure Payments** — Trusted payment options with buyer protection - ⭐ **TrustPilot Rated 4.5/5** — Based on 8,000+ happy customer reviews **Shop now:** [https://www.desertcart.com.sa/products/47963213-fluval-fx4-external-filter](https://www.desertcart.com.sa/products/47963213-fluval-fx4-external-filter) --- *Product available on Desertcart Saudi Arabia* *Store origin: SA* *Last updated: 2026-05-06*
